Van Uhm is a well-known brand in the Dutch food processing industry. As a supplier of various machines, they are indispensable for many of their customers. But to Van Uhm, all of his employees are indispensable. Even during Corona, when many customers are busier than ever before, he wants his customers to rely on the excellent service that Van Uhm is known for.

It goes without saying that the RIVM guidelines are taken into account at his company. Nevertheless, it turns out that face-to-face communication is essential in day-to-day business operations.

For Stephen van Uhm, owner of the family business, this is the main reason why they were looking for a way to have safe indoor meetings.

After comparing various options, the choice fell on ViroPower, a UVC air purifier that improves the overall air quality.

In addition to significantly reducing the chance of viruses spreading among employees, it has been scientifically proven that better air quality can lead up to a 25% decrease in sick leave. Another reason for choosing the ViroPower was that the device is built in the Netherlands. Delivered the same day and an installation that was so simple that any employee could do it.

Moreover, there's little to no maintenance involved. So the fact that only the filters need to be replaced annually and the device works nicely and simply was a big advantage for us.

The devices are placed at various crucial locations where people come together during the working day. Since the air purifiers have been installed, employees feel safe again, and fortunately, everyone has remained Corona free.

We do this for our employees. They deserve the best and safest conditions to work together.
